Lecture no. 19 from the course: Philosophy, Religion, and the Meaning of Life

Taught by Professor Francis J. Ambrosio | 30 min
In the 19th century, the work of Marx, Darwin, and Freud represented a multilevel reassertion of the Humanist-Heroic worldview, based in radical reinterpretations of history. Assess Marx's “historical materialism” and Darwin's biological determinism as theories of meaning, and Freud's conception of the ego as the struggle of the tragic hero.
